Oooooooooowwwwwww. That's slightly negligent of his mother not to take him in to the doctor. What if it got infected or something? Poor kid, that must have been even worse than getting your tonsils out. At least with tonsils, you can eat ice cream. Ouch ouch ouch.

Yeah, poor kid. We stopped for hot chocolate and he wasn't able to drink any. I just found out this past year that he committed suicide 3 years ago. My friend was not a very good mother and she turned out to not be a very good friend, either.

Yeah, it was sad. Ny friend was divorced and lived with her boyfriend who was basically a drunk. When her little boy was 5 he got sent off to live with his dad and stepmom. That didn't last so they sent him back to his mom. She was upset about getting him back. It was right before she started at the college I went to.
